75 Dollar Bill follows the Tubby’s Fifth Anniversary’s NYCTaper insurance!
On March 7, 2020 I went to Tubby’s to observe 75 Dollar Bill. I had previously contacted Che via email to request his consent to be recorded, and he graciously agreed. I therefore remained as still as possible throughout the course of their two sets, avoiding pulling issues with the tiny microphones in my hat, and recorded what would later become the” Live at Tubby’s” record. I was aware that I was seeing someone special during the achievement. Everyone in the room was entirely lost in the polyrhythms and the band’s never-ending white-hot solos, which created an electric atmosphere. It was simple, in the moment, to remain oblivious to what was on the horizon.
In the approaching days and months, that saving became something more fully. 75 Dollar Bill’s record” I Was Real” got good press, but the band could n’t play to support it. Tubby’s, a fresh place at the time, had just had its highest-profile present to time and now had to shut its doors. No one was aware of when things did start to normalize. On one of the first “band station Fridays,” the band recorded the song as a “pay what you want” recording. Therefore, a label chose to click it to pvc. Next Rolling Stone put it on its year-end record. Suddenly, during a time when no one could get everywhere, a little place in the Hudson Valley had a widespread reputation. That documenting became a warning of what was and what could, finally, be again tomorrow. Since that transfer, word has gotten out, and plenty of excellent rings have come over, but it is safe to say that 75 Dollar Bill was the first “big” moniker associated with Tubby’s.
When Cory second mentioned that he was planning a large-scale event for Tubby’s five celebration, 75 Dollar Bill’s addition seemed evident. They had to be the next collection of the trip to take place in the actual location, which is exactly what happened. The same portfolio from that evening in 2020, with three more members, sat down by the table and led us on a journey.
If I had n’t missed the intro and had the recording in the middle of the recording,” Ocean in the Plug” would have been the album opener for” Live at Tubby’s.” The band then dived head first into the heart of the set, where” Tetuzi Akiyama” from the aforementioned” I Was Real” was due. The group stretched out over 26 moments of deep rhythms and solos to create a new structure called” 21.” The evening closed, just as it did in 2020, with a 20+ second edition of WZN# 3 with Tim Barnes leading the charge on Maraca.
I mixed the same Roland R-07 and small AT-853’s that I used in 2020, with a board supply from Tubby’s FOH team, Wil and Kyle, to create this set. Enjoy it quiet and be glad that we can all celebrate song up in people once more because the quality is excellent and full of life.
